1821 Lambert Rickey, esteemed accountant, reviewed the records of Peter Gordon, late treasurer.
Mr. Lambert Ricket who is esteemed an excellent accountant, came and profered his services to begin and go through the whole accounts … it was thought best to go over the whole a second time, accordingly I procured the assistance of GARRET D. WALL, Esq. CHARLES PARKER, Esq Mr. SAMUÉL T. MACHETT, with Mr. LAMBERT RICKEY, on which examination was found an error in my favor of $50; making The sum of $4243.27, which it appeared I had over paid. It is true that I have not discovered where the errors are; but certainly they exist in some of the accounts, and on pursuing the investigation, have not a doubt of final success, altho' tho task is laborious and requires time. All I beg of the public is, that they will suspend their condemnation - and hope and trust my character will finally appear clear of censure. PETER GORDON, late treasurer. Trenton, Dec. 27, 1821.
1828 Lambert Rickey, perhaps this one, was among the last officers of the state bank in Trenton (1811-1822). He worked as a cashier at the Bank of Trenton. [4]
In the case of the The State against Lambert Rickey, on indictments for misdemeanors in relation to his conduct as cashier of the State Bank of Trenton, the Supreme Court delivered their opinion this term, overruling the pleas of the defendant. These pleas were founded upon the alledged incompetency of some of the grand jurors by whom the indictments were found; Fifat because they were stockholders in the State Bank at Trenton; and second, because they had, previous to their being sworn as grand jurors, expressed opinions unfavorable to the defendant. As to the first exception, the court said it was unfounded in law; there was no such interest in the jurors as disqualified them from serving on the grand jury, and as to the second exception, it could only be taken by way of challenge to the jurors, and not by plea to the indictment. The defendant thereupon pleaded again to the indictments- Not guilty, and they will be carried down to the October circuit of this county for trial.-.
